Yea I’ve heard horror stories from friends. CEO writing “athletic, no kids, submissive like a ** woman” in his internal job description for an executive assistant.

I dunno, I liked living in Manhattan and driving into nature every other weekend with my dog and wife. Turns out Zipcar is pretty shit overall if you actually like going to places.

I think the competitive advantages of Uber will weaken with all these legal challenges. In NYC, as Uber prices increased dramatically after the pandemic began to wane, folks just starting catching cabs again. The cabs use ride hailing apps.

I think you missed the point of my message. Of course plenty of criticism of Israel is valid and not anti-Semitic. It is also true that plenty of anti-Semites love to criticize Israel.

Yea I agree... the winky face emojis and comment sections tell you the audience knows exactly what they're looking at though.

Frankly when us Jews call out anti-Semitism, the whole room stands up to tell us what is and is not anti-Semitism. Imagine doing that to LGBT folks or other minorities. I'm not even much of an Israel supporter but it is exhausting to h

The dog whistle cuts both ways. I've heard more than enough anti-semitic stuff thinly veiled as criticism of Israel and I am a Jew firmly against the occupation.

I've reported this page countless times that purports to be about 'jewish contributions to society' but is clear as day dog whistling. https://www.instagram.com/jewish.contributions/?hl=en

This. What happens in a coding interview is incredibly well documented at this point. If you can't be bothered to prepare, study, and brush up coding skills for interviews, I do not want to hire you. I tend to ask medium difficulty que

Yea I wasn't saying it was the only cause but holy shit I did not know there were that many bathrooms in Manhattan =)

edit: I lived in SF & Oakland from 2013-2019 and Manhattan from late 2019 - now. The feces problem in SF is exacerbated by opiates. Heavy opiate use causes extreme constipation and opiate withdrawal causes the opposite. Housing and drug

i get that point but still it is a little tough to buy. When I lived in the Bay Area (until 2019), the only psychiatry office that accepts medical insurance upfront is the PCPA. As a software engineer living in Oakland wanting to use my com

Yes it is. Opera, for example, https://www.npr.org/2019/07/26/745286413/opera-star-david-da... Music and Arts are a hellhole for this kind of stuff

...I was just answering the question around what the content was like on Parler.

by sbilstein 6y ago
Parler was essentially 90% MAGA shouting. There was virtually no content that was non-political and it was basically the Twitter version of the anti-Obama rumor emails my boomer dad kept forward me from 2008-2016. I had the app, checked it

At this point the game has changed with social apps; I’m including messaging as “social.” It is easier than ever to rebuild the important parts of your social graph on Signal, Clubhouse, Snap, IG, whatever platform you need. I talk to the s

well you need machine learning to coordinate these robots and they need to take into the effect of this robot shaking around a whole bunch.

Oof some engineer is working on machine-learning to deal with the knockback of shooting a gun from a drone. It's probably an interesting as hell problem, enough to distract someone from the fact that they'll be enabling cheap robo

Yea I'm not totally concerned about catching it but if I do, I increase my likelihood of hurting others. That's been the logic of most of my peers (early 30s, late twenties). However, through my partner I am friends with many clas

I don't think this should be downvoted because the info is pertinent to the philosophy of Urbit. The conclusion Yarvin draws is so stupid IMO but people should know how much of a gatekeeper he desires to be with this platform.

Except...Yarvin designed Urbit and he did not design DNS.

I used to agree but a few of my 20-29 year old friends have had much worse experiences than expected. One had some neurological side effects, which is rare but happens, that affected his eye movement and made it impossible for him to read o

But schools generally ignore independent-mindedness, except to the extent they try to suppress it. Why do so many folks buy this bullshit about American schooling? Sure, we've got SATs and standardized tests but schools also have jaz

Techies, thanks to a bunch of dumb twitter talking heads, seem to think journalists are just rolling in bundles of cash from clicks. They're not. The vast majority of them, even the ones with upwards of 20k twitter followers, barely ma
